CUPBOARD FOR TOILET U'I ENSILS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent' No. 523,823, dated July31, 1894. I

Application filed October 14,1893. Serial. No. 488.137. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, CARL EMIL WENDT, of 10 Zossener Street, Berlin, inthe Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire, have invented new and usefulImprovements in and Relating to Cupboards for Toilet Utensils, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in cupboards for toilet utensils,and it consists of certain novel features hereinafter described andclaimed.

Reterenceis had to the accompanying drawings in which the same parts areindicated by the same letters throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a sectional view showing the cupboard closed, and the toiletutensils shut up therein. Fig.1 represents a transverse section of thedevice shown in Fig. 1, just.

above the basin in the said figure. Fig. 1 represents a similar sectionto that shown in Fig. 1, except that the toilet utensils have been swungout into position ready for use.

Fig. 1 represents a similar section to that- In the said figure arepresents the receptacle for holding the water, I) the basin, and

c the slop bucket or drain tank, into which the water from the basin isemptied. These three parts a, b, and c, are rigidly attached to one sideof the cupboard d, which is constructed like a door, with central pivots6, thus the door can be swung around about these pivots so that theutensils project into the cupboard or extend out therefrom. In orderthat this revolving side d may be entirely shut inyby the adjacent sidesof the cupboard, these two sides are preferably provided with astrip orbeading h as shown in Figs. 1, 1 and 1", which strip or beading coversthe crack or joint between the pivoted sides and the contiguous sides.Now, in order that the pivoted side 01 may be revolved through onehundred and eighty degrees, so that theutensils may be swung into theposition in which they are ordinarily used, I hinge one of the sides fat its edge opposite to the side (2, as at g and this hinged side isswung back somewhat before any attempt is made torevolve the pivotedside either into the closed or the open position. On this hinged side fI preferably place a towel, as shown in Fig. 1

It will be obvious from an inspection of the said figures, that theherein described device will be of great convenience for'use in offices,and other like places, where it is desired-to keep the toilet utensilsordinarily out of sight.

Having thus describedmy invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States, is-

A cupboard for toilet utensils provided with a side or door centrallypivoted and adapted to swing about its axial center through an Y are ofone hundred and eighty degrees, and having the toilet utensils carriedby said door or side; and having the two adjacent sides provided with abead or strip adapted to cover the cracks at either side of said pivoteddoor or side, and one of said sides being hinged to allow said pivoteddoor to be swung clear of said bead or strip, substantially as and forthe purposes described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.

CARL EMIL WENDT.
